Why REE Mining Makes Green Technology Not Very Green

Green technologies such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels depend on rare earth elements, but extracting and processing these materials can create serious environmental and community health risks. Andrew Oliver examines the hidden costs of REE mining and explores how recycling, safer extraction methods, stronger regulation, and Indigenous participation could support a more responsible clean-energy transition.

Renewable Energy Technologies: From Solar to Geothermal

As we face the growing impacts of climate change and the urgent need to shift away from fossil fuels, renewable energy technologies offer a beacon of hope. These technologies harness natural processes to generate clean, sustainable power. From the familiar solar panels to the lesser-known geothermal systems, renewable energy sources are transforming how we produce […]
